The Kia Soul, a subcompact crossover produced from 2009 to 2022, carved a unique niche in the automotive market with its boxy, almost cartoonish design and surprisingly spacious interior. The first generation, spanning the model years 2010 to 2012, was particularly popular for its youthful vibe and affordability. While lacking the performance and sophistication of some rivals, the Soul's practicality and quirky personality attracted a loyal following. Powertrain options included a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine generating 122 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the "Soul+," one could enjoy a 2.0-liter engine delivering 142 horsepower, mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.

The 2010-2012 Kia Soul's design, though unconventional, proved effective in maximizing interior space. The tall roofline and square shape provided ample headroom and legroom for passengers, while the cargo area was surprisingly generous for a subcompact. Safety features included anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and front airbags. These features, coupled with its low price point, made the Soul an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. Its unique styling and practical nature also attracted a younger demographic, seeking a vehicle that reflected their individualistic style. The 2010-2012 Kia Soul, while not a high-performance car, offered a comfortable and functional experience for everyday driving, making it a popular choice for urban dwellers and families looking for a practical and affordable vehicle.
